Warping is the most demanding part of the conversion in terms of software. We use Immersive Designer Pro for planning with our customers because it is easy to calculate various scenarios in advance. This software is usually too expensive and too diff...

New day. Firstly, we prepare the installation of the projectors. To do this, we first fit the projector holders to the projectors. Then the first projector is mounted. One thing we can say in advance. The overhead work left us with sore muscles the n...

The preparations have been finalised. We have bought three new projectors. Optoma with 4K resolution. You have to realise that we have a very special installation situation in Bottrop. Like many others, we have space problems in the showroom. That's ...

Here's a short video from our new customer Marcus. He took off on his first night flight with an expert and we were able to join him on YouTube. The complete installation has recently been completed and VATSIM is already up and running...

Flying is incredibly exciting and there are many fascinating places to go. We will fly eastwards in the A320 until we arrive back at our starting point. The flight distances will be around one hour per leg - where feasible. Fly with us...

One might think that our A320 has spent too much time with a Boeing. What happened there? Is this an April Fool's joke? If so, it would be a very bad joke... :-)But in fact it is not a joke. While the flight simulator community tries to become even m...

A few months ago we announced the production of our new electric rudder pedals for the A320. In the meantime, the first sets have been delivered to customers all over the world and we are very happy about so much positive feedback.The mechanics ...

Every now and then I take the opportunity to spend some time in the simulator with my mother (now 90 years old!). This time it's from Düsseldorf to a place close to her heart. Namely to Sylt. My father spent a lot of time there. A good reason to take...

Hi all,

Well another question on side base. Hope this time it will be a bit easier to answer. ;-)

Your help is very appreciated!
